Alternate Power Sources for Your CTM-ONE Wireless Gateway
The CTM-ONE wireless gateway is an industrial grade device which provides an “always on, always connected” solution using an LTE radio for cellular communication.
The CTM-ONE device has a CAN bus port that supports two CAN interfaces. For ease of installation in mobile applications, connecting the supplied OBDII or J1939 cable is all that is required to provide power. A locking power connection is also available for installations where CAN is not available or required. The DC power connection supports 6-36 Volts DC with ignition-sense detection. Though these are the typical power sources used for the CTM-ONE, there are some alternatives available which can be added on to the device at any time.
